Garden + spring shindig updates
"President's Day" holiday today, so I'm off, for which I will pay in blood and lost sleep for the rest of the month, most likely. We've got corporate strategic planning for a day-and-a-half this week, too, meaning that I've two and a half days in which to do 5 days of work. MEH.
Planted a flat of red onions yesterday. Need to get new full-spectrum bulbs for the seed starting rack...like yesterday. I think I only have one shelf's worth of working bulbs left. Spent a fair bit of time yesterday working on planting schedules and square-footage requirements...how is it that even with a new potential 5,000 square feet of space, I still run out of room for what I want to grow? (Not to mention that, if half of the planned veggies actually get to maturity, we're going to need a much better storage system than what we've got.)
It's looking like the Urban Homestead Snow's Last Hurrah Spring Soiree will be the weekend of March 28. Mark your calendars!
If the link above is locked for you, here are the particulars: Directions (and/or excursions, depending on interest) to ski areas or snowshoe trails, good company, Boston-area and hopefully some central VT Irish music folk, at least one bottle of Ardbeg, a lot of house-made hard cider, a couple spare bedrooms and a bunch of floor space, a few extra air mattresses, and endless breakfast in the morning. Please feel free to forward to like-minded folks are not LJ-equipped.
